Chris Wallace: Ted Cruz is like a Japanese soldier who thinks the war is 'still going on'

Chris Wallace: Ted Cruz is like a Japanese soldier who thinks the war is ‘still going on’
https://www.rawstory.com/2020/11/chris-wallace-ted-cruz-is-like-a-japanese-soldier-who-thinks-the-war-is-still-going-on/amp/

Fox News host Chris Wallace on Sunday compared Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) to a Japanese soldier who thinks World War II is “still going on” because he refuses to accept the presidential election results.

“It would seem to me that Republicans on Capitol Hill have a role to play in this,” Wallace explained on his Fox News Sunday program. “A very few of them have said, look, you pursue your legal options but, you know, damn down the rhetoric, like Mitt Romney, like Pat Toomey.”

“There are a lot who are just silent,” the Fox News host noted. “And then there are some — I mentioned Ted Cruz — who are like the Japanese soldiers who come out 30 years after the war — out of the jungle — and say, ‘Is the fight still going on?'”

Remember how, at the 2016 GOP convention, Cruz gave a speech and, in his underhanded way, encouraged delegates to vote against Trump? Then all of a sudden he endorsed Trump, and now he's his biggest defender. I wonder what they gave Cruz.

He definitely is one of those who think God has predestined him for the presidency. He thinks he needs Trump's favor to get there, but Trump probably will support one of his own children. Cruz is making a fool of himself and turning off the Republicans who want to put Trump behind them. I think that after the government and the press get through with Trump in the next few years, people will be pretending like they never knew him.

At the RNC in 2016, he was urging all his Republican colleagues to abandon Trump. My Lord, what Trump does to your mind really transcends all reason.
